FOXNews.com: PORT TAMPA, Fla. — Yolanda Segovia heard a knock on her door one morning, just before 8 a.m.Her neighbor was on the porch, with a dog and a story.
Stacey Savige had found the little dog in front of an elementary school. He wasn't very big, looked like some sort of terrier. Burrs clung to his belly. His honey fur was caked in mud.
He didn't have a collar. Stacey had taken him to the vet and he didn't have a chip, either.
Now Stacey had to go to work. Could Yolanda keep him?
Yolanda is 47. She's a divorced mom with two boys. In recent years she has survived breast cancer and cervical
cancer , lost her dark hair and eyelashes to chemo. A hairdresser, she hasn't worked since 2006.
"You can leave the dog here," Yolanda told Stacey. "But just for today."
They took photos of the dog and made a FOUND flier. Stacey ran off 4,000 color copies. She and Yolanda stuffed mailboxes, put ads on
Craigslist .
Yolanda took her boys to the dollar store and bought a collar, leash, ball and brown bed. Her 10-year-old, Azaiah, decided to call the dog RaeLee, pronounced "Riley." He said he had heard it on TV. All afternoon, he walked the dog, threw the ball, laughed while the dog licked his face.
"Don't fall in love with him," Yolanda kept warning. continued
